I expect other desktops have something similar. If you don't mind doing a bit of scripting, look at arandr. It will let you set up your monitors, then export a script. You can then select a script to suit your setup. Or you can call an appropriate one from your desktop/window manager's startup code. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
